Vintage YORK Grand Rapids Alto info please

Hi all, New to your group, please forgive the fact that I am a trumpet player. I recently retired and am looking to occupying my time with saving vintage instruments and finding homes for them. I recently acquired this sax, Ser # 966xx and believe it to be a 1931. The pads are in great shape, the horn looks very good, doesn't need restoring. I am looking to learn more about saxes so I am asking for opinions as to quality and possible value. In my limited research so far I believe this to be a stencil horn, suggested it may have been made by Martin because of the soldered tone holes.
